Kavita
This guide covers what's specific to connecting Panels to a Kavita instance. For the parts common to every server — where the OPDS option lives, and how to use the server once it's added — see connecting a server.
Connecting to OPDS servers like Kavita is part of Panels Premium.
Finding your feed URL
Kavita hands out an authorized URL, which has your credentials baked into it. That's why you won't need a username or password in Panels.
In Kavita, go to Settings → 3rd-Party Clients and copy the OPDS URL.
Connection details
In Panels, go to Library → Connect Service → OPDS and paste that URL into the Host field.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Host | the OPDS URL you copied from Kavita |
| Port | only if your server isn't on port 80 or 8080 |
| Username / Password | leave empty |
Leave username and password empty. The authorized URL already carries your credentials — filling these in will stop the connection working.
Save the configuration.
Next steps
Your Kavita server now appears both as a library and as an import service.
